On October 5, 2002, Reese Witherspoon’s older brother, John, was arrested after he entered a Nashville neighbor’s home and tried to undress and kiss a woman while she slept. John, 34, pled guilty to lesser charges, and according to his attorney, he “took her word for it,” because he was drunk and blacked out on the night in question. Reese, 31, helped her brother after he finished his two years on probation by making him her personal assistant on the ironically titled film Our Family Trouble.

Michelle Williams has been estranged from her father, Larry, since she was 15, but she’s still upset that the IRS charged the 64-year-old stock market trader with evading $1.5 million in taxes after he flew to Australia. “It’s a strange thing having one’s father locked up, but you get used to it,” Michelle, 27, says. When he was arrested in May 2006, it wasn’t lost on Michelle that her dad was detained in her ex Heath Ledger’s native country. “Of all places,” she says. “It’s like, could you pick somewhere else to be arrested?”

Charles denied it and appealed to his son for support. “He was no saint,” says Woody, 46. “But I think he’s innocent of that killing.” Charles died in March while serving two life sentences.

6. Sara Evans claimed her husband had kinky desires

When country singer Sara Evans’ marriage to Craig Schelske fell apart last year, she aired his dirty laundry in court papers. Sara, 36, alleged that her husband of 13 years “kept a list of ads seeking casual and ménage-a-trois sex and had nude photos of himself indulging in sexual acts with other women,” on their home computer. Sara’s biggest concern was that their children Avery, 8, Olivia, 4, and Audrey, 3, were being exposed to the smutty shots. After Craig made shocking claims about Sara, they both agreed to drop their allegations and resolve their divorce “amicably.”

Then, in 1993, when Tobey was 18, his down-on-his-luck dad, Vincent, a cook, robbed a California bank and served two years in prison. Says a family friend of the shocking situation: “Tobey is aware his dad made a rash decision which cost him dearly. He was broke and has been a model citizen ever since.” Tobey, 32, learned a valuable lesson. “Growing up the way I did, I have a very serious ambition to make money and have some security,” he says.

Harry died when Orlando was only 4, and family friend Colin Stone became his legal guardian. It wasn’t until Orlando was a teenager that his mom, Sonia, admitted that Colin was actually his biological dad. “As long as I can remember, Colin has been a good friend, but I always thought Harry was my real father,” says Orlando, 30. “I don’t remember much about Harry, but my mother always speaks highly of him,” he says.

1. Nicole RichieNicole’s real dad was in Lionel’s band

Nicole Richie has always known Lionel and Brenda Richie as her mom and dad. But her real parents were actually members of Lionel’s band, who gave her up when she was 3-years-old. “My parents were friends with Lionel and they trusted that they would be better able to provide for me,” reveals Nicole, 26. So the Simple Life star — who was officially adopted when she was 9, a year before Lionel and Brenda divorced — was raised in an upscale LA suburb, where she met best friend Paris Hilton and dealt with her famous dad’s constant absence. “When Nicole came along, I was gone,” Lionel, 58, admits. Though her teens were rocky — she went to rehab for heroin addiction — Nicole is now very close with Brenda and Lionel.

I don't like to comment really on beach photos because come on, who needs that shite hitting the web? But these pics are really causing people to stir so I feel obligated.

So she gained a couple of pounds. That only means in 6 months she'll be on the cover of In touch Weekly with a cheesy grin and a pair jeans that never really belonged to her stretched out in front of her.

According to Us Mag Britney Spears dropped into XXX store Hustler in Hollywood to try on some underwear, well apparently that's frowned upon at Hustler. When she grabbed about 10 pairs and started heading to the change room the employees told her they "don't allow people to try on underwear".

Britney got really upset by this and so she stripped down and just tried them on right in the middle of the store with about 15 other customers in plain sight. Witnesses say she was "really out of it" and there "was nothing going on behind her eyes".

"An eyewitness tells Us, "The employees kept saying 'Don't change out here!' She's just like, 'Well, I couldn't take them in the fitting room!' It was like dealing with a child."

Spears' tantrum only continued. "The staff told her she had to pay, and she rolled her eyes, but paid with a credit card," the source tells Us. As payback, "on her way out, she went up to a mannequin, snatched the wig off the head, and stole it!"

Britney's latest video shoot involved lots of Britney look-a-likes. It's apparently about her avoiding the paparazzi by using decoys. So basically another whinny video about the pressures of being a star.

Just when we thought we could fight the STD epidemic Britney starts to multiply...we'll never get a handle on it now.

Britney's friend, who's been attatched at the hip with her for the last little while, Sam, texted Ryan Seacrest this morning while he was taping his morning radio show and shot down the pregnancy rumors.

Christina Aguiler has done the right of passage naked pregnant photoshoot. For Marie Claire though....even Britney held out for Harpers Bazaar.

She looks good though, and here's some of what she had to say:

On her pregnancy being a surprise: “We were planning on starting to try after the tour. And so, I had gone off the Pill to prepare my body, because I didn’t know how much time it would take. You’ve heard it takes some time — except with Power Egg and Super Sperm here… I’m like, Oh, my God, can you believe it just happened?”

On being pregnant during her ‘Back to Basics’ tour: “I was paranoid. There are so many things that could go wrong — somebody could slip, somebody could fall, I could fall. There was no way in hell I was going to jeopardize my baby for my show.” So she wore a well-concealed heart monitor. She didn’t want to broadcast the news. “I didn’t want to make the audience uncomfortable, like, ‘Pregnant lady onstage! Is she going to be OK?’ But I had to announce it to my band and my dancers, because I wanted to make sure they had my back.”

On her simple decision not to announce anything: “Because I hadn’t said anything, people thought I was trying to keep it this big, bad secret, and that’s not the case at all. I just wasn’t commenting. I’m not being like, ‘Hey, everybody, I’m pregnant!’ I’m not that girl.”

On the domestication of Xtina being complicated: “We’re so labeled. If you’re too sexual, you’re slutty. If you’re not sexual enough, you’re a prude. I like to put it out there as a topic of conversation. Why does it bother you? What’s your problem with it? Am I really hurting you? Let’s get to the root of it. I have more than one side of me that likes to get out on a stage and sing. Sometimes I want to be aggressive, sometimes I want to feel empowered in my sexuality and my vulnerability. I want to put all that out there.”

Star Magazine claims Britney Spears is pregnant and the baby's father is JR Rotem . In Touch claims they contacted JR Rotem and he claims the rumors are true and Britney is indeed knocked up with his spawn.

Although I highly doubt it birth control and per cautionary methods do get skipped in a drunken - drugged up haze that is Britney's life.

All you Hill's fans were forced to watch Spencer's sisters pathetic attempt at fame on Monday. Well turns out once you put yourself out there as always your past will come back to haunt you.

Stephanie Pratt's mug shot and details of an arrest and drug charges have hit the net.

"Early in the evening of May 8, 2006, in Honolulu, Stephanie, then 20, and a 20-year-old friend — the daughter of a production executive on the locally filmed ABC series Lost — were arrested by the police after security guards at ritzy Neiman Marcus department store caught the duo attempting to shoplift a number of clothing items. Stephanie and her friend found themselves in even more hot water after they were arrested on charges of second-degree theft and transported to police headquarters. After they both claimed they took prescription medicine and gave permission to have their bags searched, Stephanie was then arrested on further charges of "promoting a dangerous drug" in the third degree, and "promoting a harmful drug" in the third and fourth degree."

Apparently Spencer took it very hard and cut her off for a while but now that she's straightened up they speak again. Riveting!

Usher and his manwife have had a baby boy. USHER RAYMOND V was born Monday at 9:55 p.m., and weighed in at 7 lbs. 9 oz.

I have a big problem with naming your kids after the father. I think it's ridiculous. The last name is enough. There's no need to have the first name the same. Usher Raymond The Fifth? Did she give birth to a duke?

Congratulations to the couple but really what I would like to say is you are ridiculous.

Anything from SpongeBob to Finding Nemo, and you know, I’m still trying to decide which one I like more.”

Little Zac Hansen (22) has announced that his wife (wtf) is expecting their first baby. This will be the fifth baby for the trio. His eldest brother Isaac has 1 kid and the middle brother Taylor (the hot one) has 3 .
